I Bought Some Swag From Wal-Mart

Last night/this morning ya'll almost got another random 2AM YouTube vid. I was in WalMart last night picking some stuff up. I went in to get some Power Steering Fluid for my dear Claudine, deodorant, soap, cereal and orange juice. In case you're wondering, no, I did not fall victim to Wal-Martosis...although I did get a sausage biscuit from the in-store McDonalds.

Anyways, I usually buy the same simple unscented deodorant. It works great but I've noticed that it uses up pretty fast. I felt like trying something new so I went to the part of the aisle where they sell all that crazy ass deodorant that supposedly drives women wild or gets you a good ass job. You know, the ones with names like POLAR BLAST! ARTIC FREEZE! ELECTRIC BOOGALOO! (that last one don't really exist).

As I was looking I stumbled across one that said "Swagger."

Immediately, I laughed loud enough to make the other folks in the area turn their heads. Swagger shawty? I couldn't believe it. I could buy swagger now...in a bottle at that. Of course, I had no intention of buying it, too much comic relief. So I just grabbed a bar of POLAR BLAST...so I thought.

When I got home I went straight to sleep so I didn't take anything thing out of my bags. But when I woke up this morning to shower, I emptied my bags onto my bed and noticed that a bar of Swag came out.

Damn, I done effed around and bought some Swag by mistake. Damn.

I tell you this though, hahhaa...that shit smell kinda good, hahah. I mean I was 'bout ready to clown on the Swag deodorant, that's why I took pics of it with my camera phone. But I'll be damned if it don't smell good.

Ironically, a commercial for Swagger featuring LL Cool J just dropped on the net. I saw it for the first time this morning...after putting on my Swagger. I may have to stop using it though, I'm not absolutely sure I want to be like LL when I get his age. Nothing wrong with buddy...just, eh, not me.

LOL! It was inevitable that someone would try to sell 'swag.' But I always thought it'd be some rapper's clothing line or liquor brand. As janee said, I'll be a happy man as soon as it becomes lame to use the word 'swagger.' Hopefully it'll make it's way to the suburbs of America sooner than later. Then we can leave the most metro sexual phase in Atlanta rap history (yes, gayer than the all-male choreographed dancing of snap) behind.

It's unfortunate but the word Swagger has been used for way longer than just the last few years in hiphop...so the hopes of the word coming to the suburbs is a moot point... that is a word that the suburbs passed on to hiphop...so now we just need to ride the wave and hopefully never have to hear it again.
